– “Electric Red” | “The track is an interesting cross-section of stoner rock heaviness, indie rock hookiness, spacey effects and rhythmic complexity. There are traces of ’60s-era psychedelia and ’70s space-rock in the cosmic layers they create, but they do so in an accessible way, ultimately offering a pop song that just so happens to take some trippy excursions in the process.” (via Treble)

– “Afterglow” | “a trippy and hypnotic blend of stoner rock and psychedelia.” (via Music & Riots)

– “She’s on My Mind” | “Chock full of hard-rocking neo-psych…Arcadian Child are on the cusp” (via mxdwn)

   Arcadian Child have also dropped a video for “She’s on My Mind“, which mxdwn summarizes as such: “a perfect match for the band’s sound, with saturated footage of vintage car chases, a beautiful blonde actress and plenty of horrific and mysterious symbolism. The video, created by Ian Nothe and contains clips from a 1962 Herk Harvey film called A Carnival of Souls, which starred Candace Hilligoss in one of her most prominent roles. The clips of the actress being pursued by strange beings, all washed over with a blood red saturation gives the horror scenes a whole new, slightly modern feel.”

Arcadian Child‘s beautiful songs lure you slowly and smoothly into a sort of soothing numbness; the group’s use of 60s/70s pop style progressive theatrics call up a web of guitars, keyboards, and drums that thunder and ooze at the same time, and the melodies walk steadily more than they lurch. Try to picture Josh Homme (in “The Way You Used To Do”) guesting in a sunny version of The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony” video for a CliffsNotes reference to the band’s sound. Arcadian Child are masters at sounding simultaneously cool as a block of ice and hot as hellfire, but the unshakeable pop melodies are the real key to this album’s success.

  “Afterglow is a well-constructed myriad of indie and psychedelic rock from different decades. Vibes from the ‘60s , ‘70s, and even today, bring together a well-balanced album. Get ready for a cool, psychedelic experience from Arcadian Child” –PURE GRAIN AUDIO

   “twisted psychedelic beauty. Love the squalling guitars, like sirens out over the eastern Mediterranean.”  – Super World Indie Tunes

   “this record holds a myriad of elements from different influences, including more mainstream ones. There are proggish sides that often makes me think of late 70s Pink Floyd, the meticulous production gives a sound ala Foo Fighters, the singing and groove recall the glory of indie rock, with some Franz Ferdinand like energy, or Ghinzu’s masterful on the darker humored songs. You can only feel at home with this déjà-vu feeling, intriguing you to recognize all these elements.” – MORE FUZZ
